Super Easy, and Great Out of the Freezer Meal

I love these! I am on a gluten-free, high protein diet, and came across this recipe. I work in an office so its hard to have complete, balanced, AND tasty meals. Here's what I did: instead of one egg, I used three. I did not de-seed or shred the squash, instead i put yellow and green zucchini in my food processor. Then just mixed everything. Cooked them long enough in a pan, to give them a nice crunch, and baked in the oven according to the recipe. DELISH!!! My modified recipe made 6 pancake size squash cakes, so I froze them. When I am ready to eat in the office, take two out (recommend they should be thawed!), place them on a napkin and cover. Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until warm. Such a great meal!! Enjoy!!

I had a hard time not getting the cakes to stick, so I put a little bit cornmeal on them. Not only did the cakes stay together; but, the corn meal added crunch so I didn't have to fry them so long. I added extra cheese (which was freshly grated--parmesiana regiana) and crushed red pepper.

These were awesome! My 8 yr old even loved them. Even after I squeezed out the moisture, had to get some more of it up with some paper towels but it was worth it. I also used freshly grated parm cheese and scallions since I did not have shallots. Will be making these again for sure!
